[iot-wg] Sandoche BALAKRICHENAN for co-chair

** I am re-posting my candidature, since Jim wants a discrete thread for 
each candidate with his/her name in the Subject line, thus making the 
decision process easier **

Dear all,


I would like to put my application for the co-chair role. I believe I 
could fit into Jim's criteria, not being among the usual suspects :-)

_*About me *_

I have been working at the French domain registry (Afnic) for the last 
10 years. Since the beginning, I have been carrying out multiple
IoT-related initiatives and projects internally and/or with partners. My 
linked in profile: 
https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandoche-balakrichenan-2a44645/

50% of my job profile is oriented towards technology watch, and thus  
involved in activities at the IETF, GS1 (RFID, Barcode standardization),
AIOTI (The Alliance for the Internet of Things Innovation), RIPE, CENTR 
(Council for European Top Level Domains) and LoRa-Alliance.

My interest in IoT includes identification, name resolution, service 
discovery and using DNS infrastructure as PKI for the IoT


_*Some milestones in my IoT profile:*_

  *    I had participated for two years at the European Commission as an
    invited member of the IoT expert group.
  *    Our IoT project WINGS (how DNS could be used for service
    discovery in the supply chain industry?) was awarded the CENTR R&D
    award for 2013
    (https://www.inria.fr/en/centre/lille/news/anr-verso-wings-project-wins-centr-r-d-award-2013)
  *   Principal contributor to the ONS standard
    (https://www.gs1.org/sites/default/files/docs/epc/ons_2_0_1-standard-20130131.pdf)
  *   Contributed to LoRa-alliance (lora-alliance.org) Backend
    interfaces specification on DNS usage for resolving LoRa devices in
    the Internet.


_*What I could do in the Co-chair role?*_

  * Will be able to participate in all RIPE physical sessions and other
    side meetings which a WG co-chair is supposed to attend.
  * Wil be able to allocate time to follow the policy proposal relevant
    to the WG; follow and respond to the mailing list discussion; ensure
    milestones and with the help of Jim, liaise with RIPE NCC.
  * Will be able to allocate time for administrative activities (like
    soliciting contents, preparing the agenda etc.) concerning the WG

If you believe i can be of use, thanks for your support.

Regards,

Sandoche BALAKRICHENAN
